Help! I've recently bought an o2 xda mini s and drag/dropped some powerpoint files onto it. This all worked ok for a while and then the device stopped recognizing the files as PowerPoint and they do not appear in the PowerPoint mobile file directory. They do appear as PowerPoint presentations in file explorer either and the icon attahted to the files has changed from the red 'powerpoint square' to just a standard icon (white note with windows sign). When trying to load a presentation a pop up states that it either does not have a trusted certificate or one of its components is missing. I've tried deleting and reloading but the same keeps happening! Any ideas???

AjFoster I have used the pre installed clearview application on my XDA II with powerpoint files and it works well. I have the additional BackPack accessory so that I can do PowerPoint presentations using my XDA II connected to a LCD projector. That works great too.
Before I bought my XDA II I wasn iPAQ user and bought pocket slides for that platform. I can still use PocketSlides on the XDA II if I want full Powerpoint functions (create and edit as well as view) but in my case the clerview application is pretty much all I need at the moment.
What version PowerPoint files are you trying to open?
Is clearview compatible with all versions of powerpoint?
Ed
Thanks ed for the prompt reply. I am using powerpoint 2000 which according to the guidelines is compatible with clearvue. When i drag and drop the files from desktop to xda II they are converted fine but for somereason my clearvue just does not pick them up.
Any other suggestions?
Try to make a simple slideset with no animations, no bigger embedded pictures or some other fancy stuff
This will just test the compatibility...
You will have to go the the ActiveSync and uncheck the convert file area. For Powerpoint files you do not convert the file. I had the same problem until i readd it somewhere now it works like a charm.
Cheers
Thanks shanec i unchecked the conversion box and now clearvue works a treat. Shame that simple bit of advise wasnt available in help
Hi!
I would like to watch VCD on my O2 XDA II using Wi-Fi and drive mapping through Resco File Explorer.
Anyway I can do this like what this guy has done with his PPC:-
http://www.ppcsg.com/forums/viewtop...&start=0&sid=5e685040899f149fd5412307623e3503
I'm using Win XP Pro on my PC and upon exiting my firewall I was able to detect my PC on my O2
However, I was unable to get pass the stage where you have to key in your PC name and password because upon pressing the 'OK' button it always return to the Network Log On page
Any help? Thanks
Hi,
I've installed Skype and Acrobat Reader v2.0 on my brand-new Qtek 9000 (Italian ROM, v. 1.13.75 ITA). Even though both are supposed to be compatible with WM5.0, none of them happens to work. When I tap on the respective icons, a rotating raibow-disk cursor shows up - as if the application was being loaded - than it disappears and nothing happens. The application doesn't even appear in the list of running programs under Settings/Memory. I've tried unistalling and reinstalling many times, both on the device and on an external storage card, with no results.
Does anybody know how to solve this problem?
Ciao,
RoB
RE
Acrobat Reader v2.0 installed on my SD card works well without problem
both work fine on my SPV @ Qtek 9000
I had the same problem with Skype.....looks like it is starting but then nothing happens That said, it did load up once or twice.......out of loads of attempts !
I had the same problem with the Acrobat Reader newest version.
Finally i uninstalled it.
Problem solved with Skype!
Hi,
the new version of Skype for Qtek 9000 works fine, now! You can download it at he following URL:
http://skype.com/products/skype/pocketpc/download.html?device=qtek_9000
I still have problems with Acrobat Reader for Pocket PC v2.0, though... I wonder how the same program can behave differently on supposedly identical devices. Evidently, the problem depends on some "extra flavours" added by the various brands that commercialise the Qtek 9000. By the way, my device is unlocked, that is it can accommodate any SIM card.
Any advice on registry tweaks that can help solve the problem? Since Acrobat Reader DOES run on other Qtek 9000 devices, it definitely cannot be a serious compatibility issue.
Acrobat Reader works if Pocket Hack Master is not running.
I had the problem with Acrobat Reader 2.0, but it worked in 'Safe Mode' (Part of SBP Pocket Plus). So I set about running various apps to find the conflict, and it works just fine for me if I exit Pocket Hack Master before loading acrobat.
Hope this helps.
I've heard rumours about only the english version of Acrobat Reader is running on WM 5 at the moment.
@riccioberto: I suppose you used the italian version?
Best regards,

Acrobat Reader now works but can't be uninstalled!
Hi,
I followed tomestos' advice and downloaded the english version of Acrobat Reader for Pocket PC.
Before installing it, I unistalled the Italian version from the PDA by using ActiveSynch (I used the command for removing the application from both the PC and the PDA).
ActiveSynch DID NOT remove the application actually, but it DID remove it from the list of installed applications on the PDA!
When I tried to install the English version, I was asked if I wanted to uninstall the Italian version before. I replied "yes" but the application could not be uninstalled, so the installation of the new version failed...
But - this is the incredible part of the story - now Acrobat Reader works! It is in English and characters on screen are awful - not exploiting VGA mode, I guess -, but works.
The only problem is that I can't uninstall it in the normal way, so I'll probably have troubles with installing new releases.
Any idea on how to solve this further problem?
Regards,
Roberto
Adobe Reader Issues / Solutions
There are a number of Acrobat issues I am aware of and some solutions. Would love some help with the rest!
I have an Imate JasJar (and previously a PDA2k). These come with an application "ClearVue PDF" which allows you to view PDF files. However it doesn't "reflow" the text to make it easier to read on a small screen and doesn't support ebooks which are encrypted with Adobe's DRM. (Just about any ebook you pay for.) Therefore I prefer Adobe Acrobat Reader which is free. The only downside is the memory used and hassle for installing.
Issue 1 - ClearView PDF
After you install Adobe Acrobat; ClearVue PDF is still the default application for openning PDF files.
I have not found a way to uninstall ClearVue PDF. However as there appears to be no executables under program files then I don't believe you would save any memory. I only wish they didn't waste ROM space but that's outside my control. (I'm not into hacking ROMs.)
The easiest solution is to use a registry editor to delete the key...
PocketPC\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\pdffile
...BEFORE installing Adobe Acrobat Reader. The install then sets up the correct file associations and all is well.
Issue 2 - Acrobat starts and then closes
I have found that if you install Acrobat Reader to a storage card then...
You can launch the application and open a file - works OK.
If you open a file from Explorer (or other tool) then Acrobat appears to start up. It even shows you the reflow warning message. However it then closes! (Making it pretty useless.)
Work-arround - Install to memory. Not great because the Jasjar doesn't really have enough memory for my usage. (Today screen apps really need to be installed in memory in case you need to take out the card.)
Solution??? - Help!
Issue 3 - Activating
I've had lots of hassle activating both the PC version and the PPC version.
Solutions...
a) Install the latest version/update on the PC.
b) Disable any local (PC) firewall.
c) Use an internet connection that doesn't require a proxy server.
After that your on your own...
Anyone else???
Try this tip... it works from a SD card for me on my Universal.

Can anyone tell me the registry tweaks to make Adobe the default reader for PDF files in WM 5?
To read a PDF in Adobe, I have to open the Adobe Reader and open the file. If I just click on a PDF now, it opens in that useless ClearView program that comes with WM 5.
I want to open PDFs in Adobe just by clicking on them, the way I open Word and Excel files. Can that be done in WM 5? If so, how?
Never mind !
Found the problem. HKCR\pdffile\shell\opendoc has to be set to the same value as HKCR\pdffile\shell\open. The Adobe reader updates everything except "opendoc" when it installs.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yeah I agree, ClearVue is worthless. All I did was go into the registry and remove the command for ClearVue (Westek) without removing the program itself. Just highlight and backspace the command, click OK, soft re-set and all pdf files opened will be read by your Adobe reader. You may want to write down the command line in case you want it back later. After I did this, Foxit reader became my default. Is there an OTA cab file for the adobe reader that can be installed directly to my 8125? I've tried several websites, but have not been able to install this directly.
Thanks. It's nice to be able to just click on PDFs and have them open in Adobe now. The pocket version has a nifty word-wrap feature that does a good job of making PDFs readable on a small screen.
Haven't seen a cab-install version. The one I use is an exe that installs itself to the 8125 from the PC desktop:

Help Needed please...
I have exactly the same problem as posted by kidlockatong but dont know how to do a registry tweak. I have downloaded "Total Commander" whch I believe can do the tweak. Can some one guide me through the tweaking process ....
Thanks a lot
